At just 29 years old, Frank Ragnow’s retirement announcement stunned many, but for those closest to the Detroit Lions, the surprise wasn’t that he retired -- it was that his battered body had somehow allowed him to perform at an elite level for so long.

The timing of the retirement of former Detroit Lions center Frank Ragnow was important and could've helped the Lions in the 2025 NFL draft.

Frank Ragnow's Rags Remembered Foundation has raised nearly $200,000 this week from his charity skeet shooting event and individual donations.
